Coty

I'm unsure about this powder. First off, the smell makes me gag. I tried to get over that as it dissipates but it's pretty bad. I also hated it when I first applied it. It looks ghastly and white even though I bought a 'natural' shade (not translucent). It seems to kind of settle and look ok after a minute, but it's still not my favorite powder. I wanted it for days that I don't want a ton of coverage but to finish my foundation which is a wet/water based formula. I also find the container to be messy and hard to get the correct amount out. So overall, I use it, but I don't love it and I can't see myself buying it multiple times. Some people absolutely love it, and it's really affordable so it's worth trying, but I personally didn't fall in love with it.

This is not my personal favourite at all- however it is adorable and, despite being a simple musk, distinctive. I do not mind wearing this regularly and never feel lacking for it. It's complete in itself just like any good perfume. It is pleasant to wear even if you have an array of full-blown oudhs and musks from expensive brands as I do because of my dad's penchant for gifting them. This I still usually prefer. The cheap price adds to the appeal actually, when the scent is not pretending to be a more expensive, potent musk-- 'shooting itself in the foot' in the attempt. It knows its limited bounds and works within them not trying to be something else. That gives it charm as opposed to the metallic and sour synthetic notes that other cheap scents get from trying to become something bigger. It is well-balanced, therefore, not garish or oddly proportioned in trying to be too complex. I recently smelled this on a very respectful, proper young boy, in his late teens, who helped me find a laptop. I recognized it immediately and it made me smile. It is pleasant, honest in its simple notes, and suited this hard-working, unusually professional (compared to his older colleagues) boy perfectly. Never rancid smelling either. Good job Coty.

I found the "vintage" orange topped bottle on Ebay thinking I would receive original scent which had great reviews, but while what I got is lovely enough, it disappears almost immediately after spraying on--no silage, no nothing. (And, paid more for it too. ) One positive: there is NO WAY you can overspray this! Thx for all previous posts!
